All Wardlaw can look back upon eleven years of continuous progress for the school, practically all of which would have been impossible were it not for the experienced leadership of Headmaster Pren­ tice C. Horne.

14 years as teacher and administrator at Deerfield before his appointment as headmaster of the Ward- law Country Day School in August, 1959. Since that time, the school under his guidance has en­ joyed continuous improvement and expansion.

They are the parents of four children, one of whom, Sallv, is married and lives in Ft. Mon­ mouth, where her husband serves an as officer with the U. S. Army.
